About this property
Completed in early 2020, 2131 Yonge Street is a 28-storey premium, mixed-use development located in Midtown Toronto, an area that is transforming into the pre-eminent live-work neighbourhood in the city. Midtown is set to become one of the most well-connected neighbourhoods in Canada with access to Eglinton Station, a stop along the Yonge-University Subway Line, and future stop along the 19km east to west Eglinton Crosstown LRT Line.
2131 Yonge Street boasts a first-class real estate mix with over 82,200 SF of retail, 624 residential units, and 156 underground parking stalls. With a two-storey glass façade fronting Yonge Street, the retail consists of national tenants including Farm Boy, Scotiabank, West Elm, and downtown Toronto restaurant mainstay Oretta which has made 2131 Yonge home to its second location. Sansotei Ramen has recently opened, adding another destination use to an impressive roster of retail tenants.
The Yonge-Eglinton intersection sees almost 129,000 pedestrians per day owing to the 4.8M SF of office inventory, significant luxury mixed-use and commercial projects such as Canada Square and RioCan Centre, and some of Toronto’s best restaurants and cafes including Zezafoun, Tabule, Little Sister, and Cibo Wine Bar.
The City of Toronto has received a Site Plan Approval (SPA) application for Richview Square. The submission has been a long time coming, as often happens in the development world. Back in April of 2018, a rezoning application was filed by Trinity Development and CreateTO to permit the redevelopment of the site located at the northwest corner of Wincott Drive and Eglinton Avenue West, between Kipling Avenue and Islington Avenue in Etobicoke. The redevelopment was proposed to include three new mixed-use buildings in addition to the partial retention and renovation of an existing one-storey commercial plaza.

Following the initial submission, resubmissions of revised materials in support of the rezoning application were filed a total of five separate times, changes based on comments received from various municipal departments, outside agencies, and the community. The Zoning By-law Amendment was finally adopted in July of last year.
Designed by B+H Architects, the three new towers were originally proposed at heights of 22, 22, and 18 storeys. Now, they have been approved at reduced heights of 13, 13 and 12 storeys tall.

The existing plaza building will be partially retained and renovated, with its southwesterly wing being removed, an 8.6 metre-wide addition to be made to the east side of the building, and enhancements planned to the building’s facade.

Overall, the buildings will offer a total gross floor area of 65,237m², consisting of 53,723m² of residential space, 11,038m² of non-residential space, and 465m² of community agency space. The development will have 587 residential units, 54 of which are to be purpose-built affordable rentals.
In addition, the development is to be accompanied by a new 1,700m² public park at the southwest corner of the site fronting Eglinton Avenue West, as well as a 659m² POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly accessible Space) between two of the new towers.

Trinity is proposing to redevelop the site in three phases. The recently submitted SPA asks the City to facilitate the development of Phase One and Phase Two.
Phase One consists of the 12-storey tower at the southeast corner of the site, fronting both Wincott and Eglinton. Phase Two would then include the partial demolition and renovation of the existing plaza building.

The Phase One Building will offer 281 residential units. The building will have a total height of 42.5 metres to the top of the roof, and a total gross floor area of approximately 24,697m², including 22,519m² of residential GFA and 2,179m² of at-grade retail GFA.
Of the units, 144 (51%) will consist of larger units of two bedrooms or greater, including 97 (35%) two-bedroom units and 47 (17%) three-bedroom units. The building will also have approximately 677m² of indoor amenity space, located on Level 2 and the mechanical level, in addition to 1,179m² of outdoor amenity space comprised of rooftop amenity terraces accessible on Level 2 and the mechanical level.

The building will have a total of 369 parking spaces primarily located below grade, consisting of 267 resident spaces, 46 visitor spaces, and 56 commercial spaces. Spaces for 271 bicycles will also be provided.
Phase Two consists of the retained portion of the existing commercial strip plaza which will continue to be used for retail commercial purposes. As a result of the alterations to the building, its gross floor area will decrease from the current 6,255m² to approximately 3,577m², while the front facade is to be enhanced with a series of brick, metal, and glass materials in order to modernize its look and match the general aesthetic of the neighbouring tower of Phase One.

An application for Site Plan Approval is to be filed at a later date to accommodate Phase Three, which will consist of the two 13-storey towers as well as the proposed public park and POPS along the Eglinton Avenue frontage.
Trinity Development Group and Toronto-based Hazelview Investments (formerly Timbercreek Equities Corp.) are the other partners in the development, which is located just a few blocks east of the Rideau Centre and the Rideau LRT station.
The first tower, which will include 315 rental suites ranging from studio apartments to two-bedroom units as well as about 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, is now under construction and is slated to be completed in late 2022.
The second proposed high rise would have 318 apartments and would be constructed behind the first tower, which faces Rideau Street. The complex would also have 477 parking spaces, almost all of them underground.
LaSalle Investment Management is no stranger to the Ottawa real estate scene.
COBOURG — A request for rezoning to build a freestanding multi-unit commercial building in the parking lot of Northumberland Mall is coming to council.
Trinity Group has submitted a complete application for an amendment to the comprehensive zoning bylaw on behalf of Northumberland Shopping Centre Inc.
Mark Deon, the senior vice-president of leasing at Trinity, told Northumberland News that the company is planning to build a 10,000-square-foot building near Elgin Street West, north of Dollarama. “It will be a multi-tenant building and we’re in discussions now with a bunch of national and a few regional retailers, but I can’t confirm exactly who at this point,” he said.
He said the project has been in the works for six to eight months after the company first contacted town staff.
“We are working with the owner of the mall on this,” he said. “The freestanding buildings that are there now are all single-tenant uses — they are all fully leased, operational and doing well.”
This will be an opportunity to bring some new businesses to Cobourg, he said.
“We would hope to break ground by the spring of 2020, and with our tenants taking possession by the end of next year,” Deon said. “There will be some exciting retailers coming and we will hopefully be able to announce them shortly.”
The rezoning application proposes changes to the lot frontage definition, permitted uses, lot coverage, and parking and loading standards at the site.
Deon said the company’s planning consultant will make a presentation to council at the upcoming public meeting on Monday, Nov. 25. The meeting starts at 5 p.m. in council chambers on the third floor at Victoria Hall, located at 55 King St. W. in Cobourg.
